Hi ,

Can anyone pls help me out .Logstash continuously listens to input section and pumps the data to Output Section by processing data in filter section ,but problem is! if i gave file in input section it keeps on listening .is there any possible way that after the completion of file processing in logstash need to send the status like "file processed" in output section .

Thanks
